Ricky Ponting believes his pulling will become less risky as soon as his injured elbow heals properly.
"I think I have been out twice this summer pulling..."

Do you think that's half his trouble? When to be on the pull. Mr Warne got into a lot of trouble pulling. :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

My strike rate when pulling as deteriorated recently. I've only been successful once in the month. Any advice?

[Daniel]

Jon, perhaps try forums? Well it had to be said didn't it? :p

If you're not confident of your ability to pull, then don't even try.......

.....that's why I've packed in pulling...... ;)


Saying that, the pull is Punter's trademark shot!

Pulling? That has a sort of X rated connotation to it? You Cricket people have some splainin to do!

What a 'silly point' to make! :) ho hum........







M in O and others who may not know, 'silly point' is a fielding position.

Some other fun terms, like 'bowling a maiden over'. (no runs (maiden) scored off 6 deliveries (an over))

A commentator (Brian Johnson) once said "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey".

He also reportedly said "There's Neil Harvey standing at leg slip with his legs wide apart, waiting for a tickle"
